Warriors:
Execute , Hamstring , Ignore Pain , Shield Block , Shield Slam , Slam , Spell Reflection , and Whirlwind are now available to all Warriors to use regardless of their active specialization. Furthermore, Challenging Shout and Intervene are returning
That’s some big stuff there.

These are looking pretty good.
I main a paladin; and so far I am actually really excited to see these changes. I think it’ll be fun to have auras back and also have sacrifice as ret.
My god warriors are getting not only spell reflect but intervene as well.
Well of course, you can’t bring back original Touch of Death without giving warriors a way to 100-0 themselves in arena again.
Legendary.

Meanwhile destro and demo seem to get neglected again…
I’ll stay pessimistic as always… at least we get our circle back baseline, yay.

But demo and destro are actually really fun to play right now. You also use most of your talents so they didnt really have to change much.

Destro didn’t need much more than it currently has in all reality. Port baseline + curses baseline along with a full stop on healing effects is p good.
Sburn + Fel flame would b lit

Fire and Brimstone is getting an upgrade in Shadowlands, as it now generates 2 Soul Shard Fragments for each additional enemy struck by the Warlock’s empowered Incinerate.
YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE DESTRO CHANGES!
Lol god what in the hell?
At least bring back Shadowburn?
You can’t be serious… no they are not. As a long-time destro main, what they did to us is just ridiculous.
That’s what angers me so much these days about the full-on destro rage bo*er everyone has.
We are only strong with the right support or in an open-area scenario… but far from fun to play.
It’s easy to shut us down and there is no opportunity to make great plays anymore, apart from the very predictable infernal double coil scenario… yeah, if I do it with 726days /played and only maining destro since ever, or if any other warlock that only got to destro in BfA does it, I see no difference in skill whatsoever between me and the new player…
Please do me the favour and actually watch this recording of a BG I did back in MoP.
Please pay close attention to it aswell, as we actually reached the SAME HP pools as back then. And watch the damage numbers of MSBT closely… Also remember that Chaos Bolt was on the shadow school, so getting kicked on it wasn’t even a big deal
And yes, excuse my cringy name, I was 16 back then.
I just can’t be optimistic about this at all. Especially reading the part in demonology about the Darkfury talent aswell… no mention of making it instant cast again.
Too many people just forgot how much they gutted destro and they only see the aspects that are ridiculous right now. The only correct thing everyone seems to point out is that it’s stupid that we only stand in the middle of the arena turreting… WELL YEAH WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO DO IF YOU HAVE LITERALLY NOTHING WORTHWILE THAT’S INSTANT CAST OR ANYTHING TO GET MELEES OFF YOUR ***??

You realise the only difference is you dont have burn ember heal right? The rest is litterally just tuning, noones fillers hit that hard anymore.
No it is not. We had way more instant cast abilities to control enemies and to get distance.
Instant AE fear, instant SF on a 30s CD instead of 1min, 20hp loss trinket on a 1min cd, circle…
Mechanically speaking, you were always dangerous without the need for an infernal window every 3 min.
Again guys… please don’t get me wrong. Purely based on destro’s current ridiculous strength, I’d have absolutely no business in complaining this much as I’m doing right now.
But on the other hand, it just saddens me what they turned this spec into. You’re no longer strong based on your decisions, it feels like, but you’re strong passively just because it’s designed that way.
Back in MoP, I’d argue we were at least 10x as ridiculous as we’re right now, it just wasn’t that obvious because many other classes were also way more powerful than they are right now.
Shadow changes they put out look stupid as hell, zero hype for them. Wish they’d get rid of this garbage insanity system and quit trying to make Surrender to Madness a thing.
